Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesD FutureB-
The Steelers robbed the room for Campbell. Final grade: C+.

The board owed the Steelers one, and it paid up: Jihaad Campbell, the No. 39 name on the board, sitting there at slot 161 like a gift left on the doorstep. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

They are betting Wease Jr. proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick 21 they get a ballhawk on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick121 Rnd4 Theo Wease Jr.
A big swing on Theo Wease Jr. at the 121st pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at Round 5, Pick 24 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick223 Rnd7 Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings at No. 223 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at slot 229 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick243 Rnd7 Giles Jackson
A real head-scratcher, Giles Jackson in the 243rd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
